Ms. Heinen was given a free kick on the play, but Ms. Moss had the last word, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win. Ganging up on gangs Greenwood residents don’t want ‘takeover’ By Carly Foster Staff Writer D URHAM –Residents of Greenwood pleaded Tuesday with the Region to reject a de- velopment that would see their hamlet more than quadruple in size. “That’s not an expansion, that’s a takeover,” said Chris Whillans, a retired school teacher. “If there’s going to be a rural landscape, there has to be some rural. “At some point we’re going to pave over southern Ontario.” More than 60 residents filled the Durham Region planning committee boardroom for a public meeting on an applica- tion from Berrywoods Farm Inc., also known as Tribute Homes/Runnymede Develop- ment Corporation. Berrywoods wants to build 381 homes and bring around 1,200 new residents, to the tiny hamlet in north Pickering, lo- cated just north of Taunton Road between Greenwood Road and Sideline 8. “Start doing the math. That would quadruple Greenwood’s population,” said John Wager of the Greenwood Area Ratepayer’s Association, call- ing the application “unaccept- able.” Berrywoods has several hur- dles to jump. Its application falls on the greenbelt proposed by the Province, which would establish a permanent band of protected land from the Nia- gara Escarpment to Northum- berland. Pickering’s lawyers have told Joint forces police operation leads to arrests in Durham, across GTA By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM – Eight people were ar- rested in Durham Region after police staged several early morn- ing raids Wednesday in an effort to get gangs and guns off the streets. Durham Regional Police exe- cuted search warrants in three Ajax and three Pickering resi- dences as part of the multi-force anti-gang task force ‘Project Im- pact.’ Officers from Durham, York, Peel, the RCMP and OPP assist- ed Toronto Police with the 14- month investigation. Wednesday, officers executed 71 search war- rants across the GTA, resulting in hundreds of charges and the seizure of guns and drugs. “As a result (of the raids) we’ve arrested eight people ranging in age from 18 to 29,” said Durham Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman. He said in Durham 39 charges have been laid, including conspir- acy to commit murder, attempt- ed murder, conspiracy to traffic drugs and participation in a criminal organization. “This is a really good day for the good guys and a great day for our communities,” said Chief Kevin McAlpine. “Our people worked really hard and we’re re- ally proud of them.” About 100 officers in Durham executed the search warrants at 5 a.m. They seized one handgun and a small quantity of drugs. A seventh search warrant was exe- cuted at an address in Claring- ton, but the suspect was not there and an arrest warrant has been issued. “This is probably amongst the Canada Day Par ticipate in Pickering Thursday July 1st at Kinsmen Park Adult & Student Volunteers Required 905.683.6582 ext. 3229 cityofpickering.com ® • SALES • SERVICE • LEASING • RENTALS • BODY SHOP 503 Kingston Rd., Pickering www.pvw.com (905) 420-9700 “Try The Best” PICKERING VOLKSWAGEN INC.

Five residents made presentations at the executive committee meeting Monday night to restate they are against the 27 sirens that are to be erected in a three-kilometre radius of the Pickering nuclear generating sta- tion. They had all attended public open houses April 28 and 29 regard- ing the issue. “We support our regional council- lors and we encourage them and yourselves to explore other options,” Pat Mattson said. Mr. Mattson started a petition on his street - Miriam Road - after the first meeting and said 98 per cent of residents are against the alerting sys- tem purchased by Durham Region (and paid for by Ontario Power Gen- eration), which includes 50-foot tow- ers with a siren on top and an indoor alerting radio for homes in the area. He added they are in favour of an alerting system, however. “The residents strongly feel there are more efficient systems available,” he said. At the open houses, regional staff and the representative from the con- sulting firm said the proposed system is the only one that meets the re- quirements mandated by the Provin- cial Emergency Management Act. Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland said companies offering al- ternatives that are used in other ju- risdictions have approached them. “We are committed to finding a so- lution that works for the community,” he said. Paul White, president of the Fair- port Beach Neighbourhood Associa- tion, doesn’t see the need for all the sirens. “A few well-located sirens would be just as effective as all these sirens,” he said. Many residents also said they were not aware of this issue until recently. “It just seemed to come out of left field and it doesn’t seem to be well thought out,” Mr. White said.

It might not be enough weight to pressure the Province's Min- istry of Health into action, but it's a start. Pickering council should talk to its Ajax counterparts and look into making the same plea to the Province. You see, time is moving on and the much-needed expansion is still on the drawing board. As of yet, no hammers and no wood have been brought to the hospital to start construction of the physical expansion deemed necessary years ago. The Ajax and Pickering emergency department was designed to serve 20,000 patient visits each year, but the reality is it fields over 40,000. That's an unacceptable burden on health-care work- ers, the building, and the public. To make matters worse, fund-raising enthusiasm has waned in recent months, so it's more important than ever to attain the ministry's approval in order to inspire the public and drive up interest in the expansion plan again. The public has suffered enough turmoil around its hospital that it deserves to see solid support for its health-care centre from the Province. Consider the battle between hospital officials and regional of- ficials for funding a few years ago. The Region dismissed a $100- million plan for the Ajax site, along with the Lakeridge Health Corporation in east Durham. Then, more recently, rumours and speculation the hospital was withdrawing some services from Ajax had residents up in arms. Hospital officials have continually tried to reassure and in- form citizens through public consultation meetings that it is committed to remaining a full-service facility. The results of these sessions will be released soon. So, there's room to get excited about the hospital again. Now if only the Province would get behind the expansion plans and give the approval needed to get it off the drawing board. True, the Province is in a cash crunch, but the hospital's needs can't be put off. The strain on the facility is costly as well. Consider too that every day construction costs rise a little more. Let's eliminate the uncertainty and push for early approval. Rougemount setup perfect ex ample of wasted dollars To the editor: I live on Fairport Road and have been trying to get traffic-calming measures for a few years. So perhaps you can understand that I am not too excited about complaints about the second attempt at traffic calming on Rougemount Drive. Taxpayers' money was used first of all to place the speed humps, which must have been requested by a certain num- ber of residents. The removal of the humps must have been requested by a certain number of residents too and res- idents must have approved the installa- tion of chicanes. Our politicians claim there is never enough tax money. Well, with frivolous complaints like this I can understand why.

Editorials &Opinions FRIDAY, MAY 14, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Editorial Letters to the Editor McGuinty plans for education should be made clear soon Enough talking. After months of saying that education is his gov- ernment's top priority, we'll see if Dalton McGuinty means it next week when the provincial budget is released. Actually, education funding will be laid out about two weeks later, and that's when school boards will know what they have to work with for the next school year. The rookie premier has to deliv- er dollars to demonstrate his com- mitment, and deliver them where they are needed most. Last month, in what the government billed "a major speech" on educa- tion, the premier said he would come up with the cash. "I am going to put money into education at the expense of other programs," he said. "Four years from now people are going to cast another ballot. They are going to make a decision as to whether that was the right thing to do." The premier in that speech said the government's first step is to ensure that students, by age 12, "should be able to read, write, do math and comprehend at a high level." To help accomplish this, Mr. McGuinty says he will lower class sizes, amend the curriculum and place lead teachers in literacy and numeracy in every elementary school. The May 18 budget and those that come after it, the premier says, will include more money for education. That's all well and good, but the payoff will take time, and in the in- terim, school boards are strug- gling to pay employees and pro- vide enough classroom resources. Mo rdechai Rozanski, in his report to the government on education funding, said the funding formula benchmarks had not been updat- ed for about six years, and his main recommendation was that, over three years, they be brought up to date to reflect current costs. If this does not occur, the gov- ernment is embarking on very ex- pensive reforms without funding the fundamentals - teachers, desks, books and the like. If the premier, as he vows, will have 20-student primary classes in Ontario, in Durham's public system that would mean almost 15 0 new classrooms. That's rough- ly 12 new elementary schools, with a price tag of about $85 million - just in Durham's public system. Imagine the cost in Toronto? Making Ontario's education system one of the best begins with the benchmarks. Mike Ruta's column appears every third Friday. E-mail mruta@durhamregion.com. Put your budget where your mouth is Mike Ruta s t a f f w r i t e r www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 14, 2004 PAGE 7 A/P By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM –Local university offi- cials are continuing to send infor- mation related to the UOIT busi- ness plan to the Province. “They asked us for some more information, which we provided yesterday, actually,” Gary Polon- sky, president of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, said Thursday. “We’re in constant dialogue; we’re still working on it. I think everybody wants to be helpful here.” The Liberal government asked for a business plan before it would sign off on allowing UOIT to bor- row $190 million, money needed to complete three university build- ings under construction. The Province has already approved $100 million in borrowing. Mr. Polonsky expected to re- ceive the OK two months ago, but says the delay won’t affect the timeline for university buildings A2, A3 and A6, slated to open to students late this summer. The three buildings will add almost 25,000 square metres of space to the campus, including a library, research, chemistry and physics labs, student lounge areas and a large café. “All three buildings currently under construction will be com- pleted on time, on budget,” he says. “Ministry staff are now review- ing the material that was re- ceived, and we will be responding to UOIT directly once that review has been completed,” says Rob Wooler, a spokesman for the Min- istry of Training, Colleges and Universities. Asked if that would take months, he responded, “no, no. “I think the intent was to move in as timely a manner as possi- ble,” said Mr. Wooler, who could not say when the review would be finished. He said the requested submis- sion from UOIT involved clarifica- tion of some of the language in the plan, noting, “there has to be a clear understanding on both sides.” Mr. Polonsky expects a re- sponse by the end of the month.

For Sales and Service since 1970 Call 905-837-0653 University still making its business case By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer DURHAM –Everett Grant was lying about a home invasion to protect his brother’s involve- ment in the crime, charges the lawyer for one of the accused. Paul Burstein said his client Sean Hall wasn’t involved in the home invasion in June 2000. Rather it was Mr. Grant, his brother Patrick Brown and Avi Mundy who committed the crime, he stated during a trial in the Superior Court of Justice. Mr. Hall and Mr. Mundy, also known as Cosmo Jacobson, have been charged in the murder of Roy Jones. They also were charged with the home invasion, with Mr. Mundy pleading guilty to five charges related to the rob- bery at the start of the trial. Mr. Hall has maintained his inno- cence to all charges. Earlier in the week, Mr. Grant testified he was picked up by Mr. Mundy and Mr. Hall around 9 a.m. on the day of the home inva- sion. There he said they dis- cussed a robbery, went to a home but found no one there, talked some more and then went to a home on Major Oaks Drive around noon and committed the crime. “Isn’t it true the real reason you delayed going to Major Oaks Drive is you were waiting for your brother Patrick to get his lunch break and he could participate?” Mr. Burstein asked. Mr. Grant denied that. “The home invasion was a quick job, in and out in 15 min- utes,” Mr. Burstein said, which Mr. Grant agreed. Mr. Grant agreed when Mr. Burstein said Mr. Mundy was the one who laid out the plan for the home invasion, to carry a gun, steal the credit and debit cards, and divide up the money amongst the three involved. During the home invasion, two credit cards and a debit card were taken. Mr. Grant received between $900 and $1,000 for the home in- vasion and the money was divid- ed up after Mr. Mundy went to the since-demolished Metro East Trade Centre to use the bank machine there. While there, Mr. Mundy was seen by Mr. Jones, a security guard at the centre. Mr. Jones was murdered on Fe b. 4, 2001, just days before he was to testify in a preliminary hearing related to the home inva- sion. “I would suggest Patrick had gone back to work after the home invasion,” Mr. Burstein said. “You would be wrong,” Mr. Grant replied. Mr. Burstein said Mr. Grant didn’t receive one-third of the proceeds, but two-thirds because he also received Patrick’s share. “You’re wrong,” Mr. Grant replied. Mr. Grant has been given im- munity for his involvement in the home invasion and another rob- bery committed in 1999, in return for his testimony. Mr. Burstein said Mr. Grant took a cue from Durham Region- al Police detectives and tried to distance himself from the others involved in the home invasion. “They suggested you stay in the background with a minor role. It didn’t matter once you had immunity, it didn’t matter what role you played,” Mr. Burstein stated. “I would suggest you mini- mized the role you played in the home invasion.” Mr. Grant disagreed. The trial continues. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 14, 2004 PAGE 9 A/P The pool area will be the site of a wide vari- ety of swimming classes.

This week: The enforcers By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – Clad in a black leather jacket, black jeans and black T-shirt, Alex Connor could play the part of a 1950s rebel biker à la James Dean. While his good nature and hearty laugh immedi- ately dismiss such no- tions, as of June 1, you don’t want to meet him if you’re indoors and have a smoke dangling from your lips: Mr. Connor and his team will slap you silly - with a ticket. As a manager of envi- ronmental health for the Durham Region health de- partment, Mr. Connor is responsible for making sure the Region-wide smoke-free bylaw keeps the air clear at businesses everywhere. “My job is to make sure it is rigorously enforced,” he said. “My focus will be on pro- tecting as many residents as possible.” Bylaw 66-2002 prohibits smoking in every public place and workplace in Durham. A public place is every- thing from eating estab- lishments (restaurants, bars, coffee shops) to bowling alleys, arenas, taxis, schools, hospitals and nursing homes. A workplace means any enclosed, indoor area where an employee works, such as staff rooms, wash- rooms and parking garages. Bingo halls, racetracks and casinos can have en- closed, specially ventilated designated smoking rooms that are no greater than 50 per cent of the total space. Patios - as long as a roof or walls do not close them in - can also have smoking. While policing Durham’s more than 12,000 busi- nesses may seem like a daunting task, Mr. Connor is hiring four full-time bylaw enforcers and will draw on a staff of 25 regu- lar food safety inspectors “to be the eyes and the ears.” “We want the public to know there’s a lot of us out there,” Mr. Connor said, adding the four smoking bylaw enforcers will work evenings and weekends. “We consider (offences) to be very serious.” Fines range from $200 to $5,000, whether you’re an employer, a business owner or a patron who re- fuses to butt out inside. The police can also be called to keep the peace. The smoke-free bylaw stems from a goal of pro- tecting residents, and es- pecially employees, from the effects of second-hand smoke, Mr. Connor said. Health Canada esti- mates more than 45,000 people will die from smok- ing this year. Of those, 300 non-smokers will die from lung cancer and 700 will die from coronary heart disease caused by expo- sure to second-hand smoke. “One of the reasons we’re really behind this is because we want to pro- tect the workers,” Mr. Connor said. Heather Crowe’s case is the epitome of why work- ers’ rights are so impor- tant, said John Ingrao, who prosecutes those who don’t comply with the Re- gion’s bylaws. Ms. Crowe worked as a waitress for 40 years in smoke-filled Ottawa restaurants, and now has inoperable lung cancer. Featured in recent Health Canada ads, her goal is to be the last person who dies from second-hand smoke. “These give the founda- tion for this bylaw,” Mr. In- grao said. “Protecting these individuals who have no choice but to work there.” As of March 29, there were 64 regions and mu- nicipalities in Ontario with smoke-free bylaws in place or pending. Durham will be one of the last places to have some kind of regionwide bylaw. “One of the benefits of being last is that we have a wealth of information and lessons learned from other municipalities,” Mr. In- grao said. Many areas failed at im- plementing their bylaws by only giving warnings or very low tickets, Mr. In- grao said. Patrons and bar owners quickly discovered they would pay the price and write it off as “the cost of doing business.” But that won’t happen in Durham, both Mr. In- grao and Mr. Connor said. “We receive complaints all the time about the rights of smokers,” Mr. In- grao said. “Yes, but what about the rights of non- smokers? “We’re not saying that you or anyone can’t smoke, we’re controlling where people can smoke.” A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 14, 2004 www.durhamregion.com SPECIALSALE Carriers of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at (905) 683-5117.

With the new re- gional smoke-free bylaw for public places taking effect June 1, the manager of environmental health and his team with the Durham Region health department will be making sure businesses, patrons and others are in compliance. DURHAM – The Durham Region health department is encouraging family members to get their bod- ies moving by taking part in the Get Active contest as a part of Canada’s national SummerActive campaign. Families are being chal- lenged to increase their physical activity levels dur- ing the contest, which runs until June 19. By telling the health department how their families gets active to- gether, participants will have the chance to win one of three prizes, including gift certificates redeemable at a sporting goods store. “Everyone benefits when families participate in physical activities togeth- er,” said Chris Arnott, a public health nurse with the health department. “Parents should be role models for their children by being physically active themselves.” National statistics sug- gest half of Canadians are not physically active enough to positively affect their health. Recommen- dations from Health Cana- da are that adults increase their physical activity level to at least 30 minutes, four to seven days a week. Chil- dren and youths should in- crease their physical activi- ty levels for a total of 90 minutes each day. “Anything from going for a walk after dinner to re- ducing the amount of time spent in front of the televi- sion or computer is ideal,” explained Ms. Arnott, who advises parents: “Ask your children what activities they want to do and build on that.” To enter the contest, families can fill in a ballot at their local community centre, or online at www.re- gion.durham.on.ca. For more information on the contest or on ways to increase your physical ac- tivity, call the health de- partment at 1-800-841-2729. Families can get moving Blackstock boys tell court of abuse Editor’s note: A court order protects the identities of the vic- tims in this case. Their names and those of their family mem- bers have been changed for this story. By Chris Hall Staff Writer DURHAM – The older of the two boys involved in the Blackstock abuse case faced his adoptive parents for the first time Wednes- day, saying he could forgive them, but not forget the years of abuse he suffered at their hands. At the very beginning of the May 12 sentencing hearing for for- mer Blackstock residents Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who pleaded guilty in January to abusing their two adopted sons for a period of more than 13 years, their oldest son, Dale, 18, turned to face his par- ents and told the pair, “I strongly, without a doubt, forgive you, but for as long as I live I will never for- get what you did. When I have kids of my own, I will do the total opposite of what you did to me and treat them like gold.” While reading his victim impact statement to the court and Judge Donald Halikowski, Dale recalled his years of abuse. “My so-called mother beat the crap out of me... the crib incidents were unbearable... they have haunted me since the day I left. It felt like I was in jail,” he said, re- ferring to the times when his par- ents kept him and his brother in cribs, complete with a locking top.” Dale also expressed anger over the fact he has been separated from his younger brother Adam, 17 , since they were taken from their Blackstock-area home and their parents were arrested on June 29, 2001. “I don’t have any association with my blood brother, I no longer consider him my brother because I don’t spend time or live with him. My aunt and uncle know nothing about parenting at all... if they did, I and (Adam) would still be together,” said Dale in a soft voice. Dressed in a dark suit jacket, light blue shirt and tie, and khaki brown pants, Dale, a small, slight teen with short, dark hair, told the court he was “200 per cent better” in foster care than he was with his parents. While in foster care, he says he has been taught how to swim and roller blade as well as play hockey and basket- ball. His dealings with law enforce- ment officials over the past three years has also inspired him to pursue a career in the policing field, he said. “I’m much happier now.” It has been noted numerous time during court proceedings that Dale took the brunt of the abuse at the hands of his aunt and, when officers and Children’s Aid Society officials appeared at their Blackstock home in 2001, Dale was found locked in a crib, where he was put frequently with no blanket, pillow or mattress. Prior to Dale’s appearance be- fore the court, Adam read aloud his victim impact statement, which he began by defending his uncle. “My uncle is a good man, he never confined me. My aunt was the one who confined me... it was my aunt, she ruled him. When I was freezing in my room, he gave me a blanket.” Adam, who is slightly taller than Dale and has a bigger build and a deep voice, told the court that his uncle, when not fixing cars at a nearby garage, would from time to time take the boys out fishing. He did not, said Adam, hit the boys with a shoe- horn like their mother did. The only nice thing Mrs. Smith did, recalls Adam, was serve the boys ice cream and root beer. But, he continued, that didn’t mean he and his brother had a proper upbringing. “I didn’t have a childhood be- cause of her stupidness,” he said. Adam continued to say Mrs. Smith “beat my brother with a shoehorn and a broom” and that the boys weren’t allowed to visit friends’ homes after school or on weekends. “I never went to a birthday party until I was at the group home.... We weren’t allowed. Peri- od.” When and if they would be fed was another issue the boys con- tended with, said Adam. “Sometimes we were fed meals, sometimes water and buttered bread. My aunt would not let us eat for the whole weekend, and then on Sunday she would give us four pieces of toast in the morn- ing.” He continued to tell the court that whenever he saw someone giving their mom a hug, he would get jealous; that he was forced to wear clothes that were too tight, which elicited teasing from his peers at school; and that Mrs. Smith prohibited the boys from listening to music, even breaking their stereo, and disallowed comic books in the house, ripping them up on sight. He also recalled stays in the basement, “with dirt floors and cobwebs and one window,” where he and his brother would, from time to time, “sneak upstairs to get something to eat.” While the family moved a num- ber of times during the boys’ 13- year stay with the Smiths, Adam called “the move to Blackstock the worst.” Adam, dressed in a grey shirt and tie with dark pants and short, blond hair and an earring, told the court he missed his grandparents and cousins but added, “life is better not living with that stupid bitch,” referring to Mrs. Smith, who sat at the front of the court room, sobbing as the boys read their statements. At the end of his statement, Adam turned to Mr. and Mrs. Smith and, with his final words, said, “(Mr. Smith), you’re all cool with me” before angrily telling Mrs. Smith, “Why did you lock us up? What were you thinking? You had to know you would get caught.” Mr. Smith, 52, and Mrs. Smith, 42, each pleaded guilty in January to two counts each of forcible con- finement, failing to provide the necessaries of life and assault with a weapon on the boys, who were 14 and 15 when they were re- moved from their Blackstock- area home on June 29, 2001. According to police and court records, the couple kept the boys - who are both described as devel- opmentally delayed due to fetal alcohol syndrome - chained, tied up, in dog cages and locked in cribs. The hearing continues June 16. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 14, 2004 PAGE 11 A/P Duffin Meadows Cemetery has been serving your community since 1993.

The site is also close to the Pickering Airport lands and would require an amendment to the minister’s zoning order. In addition, Pickering and Durham’s official plans would need to be amend- ed. Servicing the subdivi- sion would also be tricky, said Barb Hodgins of the planning department in a presentation. Berrywoods is propos- ing to build its own sewage-treatment facility in the subdivision and discharge the effluent into the East Duffins Creek, a notion that re- ceived gasps and scoffs from the audience. Other options include hooking up to pipes along Taunton Road, but those currently don’t have the capacity, said Kai Yew, manager of plan imple- mentation. Neither does the north Ajax reservoir the developer has pro- posed to use to bring water to the subdivision. “(A lot of these) parts haven’t made clear,” Mr. Ye w said. “They’re exam- ining a number of solu- tions.” The other setback is that residents are vehe- mently opposed. “This is not only about Greenwood, this is about Durham Region,” said resident Mary Sullivan, worried the subdivision would set a precedent in other hamlets. “I think you need to listen to the community.” Resident Diane Tait agreed. “We won’t be alive to see the implications of the loss of this prime land that we’re supposed to be using to feed ourselves,” she said, referring to the class 1 and 2 farmland the proposed site is on. “This application...is just totally out of character of what a r ural community is all about.” There were 13 presenta- tions from concerned res- idents, some wearing badges with the words “Welcome Berrywoods, formerly the hamlet of Greenwood” with a red slash through it. The Region will now peer review the applica- tion and get comments from such agencies as the To ronto and Region Con- servation Authority. Mr. Ye w could not speculate on a timeline. “Now we throw our torch to you that you will stand behind your power- ful (planning) state- ments,” said resident Yvonne Sweetman. biggest and most success- ful drug raids (for Durham police),” he said. Durham police has been involved with Project Im- pact for just over a year. The main target was a large street gang in the Malvern area of Scarbor- ough that had been in- volved in incidents in Durham, Chief McAlpine said. “We’re glad to have a sig- nificant proportion of them locked up,” he said. “If any- body else tries to fill the void left by these guys we’ll be right on top of them.” In total, 65 people were arrested across the GTA and more than 500 criminal charges were laid. Five firearms were seized, along with more than a kilogram of the amphetamine crys- tal meth, 100,000 hits of ec- stasy, and marijuana, co- caine and hashish. Those arrested were transported to Toronto Po- lice for court processing through the Ontario Court of Justice in Scarborough. Three Crown prosecutors have been assigned to the case. The following people were arrested in Durham Region or are Durham res- idents arrested as part of the GTA-wide raids: David Anthony Francis, 28, (26 charges); Michael Snape, 29, (three); Khalid David Samuel, 21, (two); Leighton Miller, 29, (seven); Raoul Andre Burton, 20, (nine); Christopher Papanikolov, 23, (two); Dwane Camp- bell, 23, (10); Donald Mc- Farlane, 27, (seven); Brigitte Johnson, 42, (one); Aisha Charles, 30, (nine); and another man is facing 20 charges but can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Held in Waterloo May 3 to 5, the event tested the abilities of high school and post-secondary students in areas such as baking, hairstyling and home building. Candice Pettifer from Central Collegiate Institute out-coiffed the competition in hairstyling. At the other end of the region, Jessica DeSilva, a student at Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering, won the baking event. Meanwhile, Durham College stu- dent David Fletcher finished first in the industrial wiring con- test. In picking up gold medals as Ontario’s best, the three stu- dents earned the right to join other provincial winners at the Canadian Skills Competition in Winnipeg May 28 and 29. Al Bender, co-coordinator of the Durham Skills Team, says the two public high school stu- dents will most likely compete out west. “We just have to make sure we have the funding in place; we don’t anticipate a problem,” he said. In other events, Durham Col- lege student Joseph MacPherson won a silver medal in the indus- trial mechanic millwright com- petition; and Ryan Duivesteyn and Kamil Szulc, who attend Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School, won a bronze medal in the landscape gardening competition. “This is the second year in a row that Ryan and Kamil scored a bronze,” said Les Jagoda, who teaches a Grade 12 architecture and landscape course at Perey- ma. The students at the national event will be trying to match or improve upon last year’s show- ing by Durham’s contingent. Seneca Cunningham, a former Pickering High School student, won gold in the electronics event, while Jasmine Ross from Central Collegiate Institute took silver in baking.

Puron is a brand name for the refrigerant R-410A, which was developed by Allied Signal, as an environmentally sound alternative to the ozone depleting refrigerant most widely used in residential comfort systems today, R-22. Puron offers high efficiency and long term cost savings to homeowners. It is truly revolutionary in every sense of the word, and its creation is essential to the future of the heating and cooling industry. In 1987, scientists and government officials convened in Montreal in response to the growing pressure to preserve the earth’s ozone layer. What emerged was the Montreal Protocol - an internationally-binding action plan to eliminate ozone-harming chemicals. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) such as R-12 were targeted first since they caused the most damage to the environment. A cap was placed on the production of CFC’s and in 1996, by law, all manufacturing was required to cease. Today, the Montreal Protocol’s current phase out targets are hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), including R-22, the primary refrigerant in residential heating and air conditioning projects. The 1990 Clean Air Act. In conjunction with the Montreal Protocol, established January 1, 2010 as the date when the U.S. will ban the manufacturing of products using HCFCs. In addition, a production cap on HCFCs (on a country by country consumption formula) was established for January 1, 1996. This production cap is intended to reduce the amount of HCFCs that will be consumed in developed countries like the U.S., Canada, the European Union and Japan. What is Puron?

The coolant is changing, the energy efficiency is about to make a major improvement and energy costs are going through the roof. The coolant we have come to accept, commonly known as Freon, but more accurately called R22, is being phased out. While R22 is not completely outlawed until 2010, its price is expected to soar in the next few years as production is reduced. In its place will be an environmentally friendly R410A, also known as Enviromax R410A and Puron. On January 1, 2006, the United States Department of Energy will mandate that all air conditioning units must operate at 13 Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) or higher. This raised standard south of the border will raise the standard in Canada, as there are no air conditioning manufacturers in Canada. This will also accelerate the use of the new coolant, as manufacturers are making both changes to new units. The Scroll compressors that began appearing a few years ago, have become highly efficient and extraordinarily quiet. When combined with a two-speed condenser fan motor, sounds levels are reduced and efficiency is increased. As temperatures rise, the fan motor automatically adjusts to the higher speed to provide optimum cooling. Lastly the cost of energy, per KWHR, that we now pay (4.3 cents), will float on the open market to about 6.3 cents per KWHR. By purchasing a 13 SEER or better air conditioner, incorporating a scroll compressor and a two-speed fan motor, you can cut your electrical energy bills by 50 per cent during the cooling season.

Keep all items in balance and scale for a cohesive look and feel. A visually heavy object on one end and a visually light object on the other will cause the mantel to appear unbalanced * Create flow by using a zigzag pattern or ‘roller coaster effect’. This placement entices the eye to move end to end with ease. One example, place taller accessories on each end, medium height objects closer to the middle and shorter objects in between, creating groupings or vignettes. Avoid the common mistake of lining up objects creating a repetitive, horizontal pattern * Use fewer larger objects, not more smaller ones. Too many small objects create visual clutter. When using smaller accessories group them together for more impact * Grouping like items creates harmony, so keep collections (three or more of anything), materials (silver, porcelain) or colours together * Layer smaller objects in front of larger to create depth. Variety in angle, shape, colour, texture and size adds interest * Accessorize in odd numbers. Why? It ‘feels right’ and looks great! * Choose items that relate to the room and best reflect the room’s personality, as well as your own. Avoid the temptation to display too many items. This would create a cluttered look and weaken the drama and impact. Looking for the perfect accessory or gift? Visit Petals & Home at 562 Accessorizing is key to good room design Kingston Rd.

PROFESSIONAL INTEGRITY/QUALITY WORKMANSHIP (over 24 years experience and more than 8,000 homes repairs) INJECTION SPECIALISTS FOR FOUNDATION CRACKS POLYURETHANE/EPOXY (No Digging In Most Cases) THE MISADVENTURES OF CRAWFORD AND SONS WATERPROOFING SPECIALISTS Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons has been successfully repairing leaking basements for over 24 years, and although he says, “I’m still learning,” he estimates he has been in close to 15,000 homes and seen virtually every possible leaking situation one can imagine. Gordon says, “basically, the amount of years I’ve been in this business has forced me to develop hundreds of different techniques to successfully solve every situation I’ve encountered.” He also says that “having an extensive background in specialty products for concrete, I know which products to use and which ones really work. That’s why I can offer a 10 year full guarantee on all the work I do.” Gordon prides his company on fast, neat and efficient service. He also prides himself on his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the least most reasonable cost to the customer. Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles but that is because it is absolutely necessary. What I won’t do is quote on an expensive excavation type repair when I know a simple little interior injection will solve the problem. Give me a solid concrete foundation and 90 per cent of the time I can inject the problem with polyurethane by standing on the inside and pumping right through the wall. Block foundations should be repaired from the outside but I try to isolate the problem within 10 to 15 ft. to minimize the excavation necessary.” Gordon says “home owners should invest in their foundations in much the same way they invest in their roofs. Water corrodes and very quickly. The same way a leak in your roof starts corroding the wooden rafters, a leak through your foundation starts to undermine the very integrity of your home. People tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. Catch it early enough and possibly save yourself a fortune.” Gordon goes on to say that “no job is too big or too small and I can promise you a fair and objective evaluation of the problem.” For a free professional evaluation call Gordon at 905-686-6880.

Ajax woman finishes third at district speaking contest By Danielle Milley Staff Writer AJAX – Turning a children’s song into a motivational message for peo- ple of all ages was a winner for Bahi Krishnakhanthan. Ms. Krishnakhanthan placed third last month at the District 60 Toastmasters International Speech Contest, with her interpretation of ‘Row Your Boat’. The Ajax resident used different parts of the song to relay a motiva- tional message to her audience, in- cluding encouraging people to not complain, to be happy with their life and be proactive, and to not give up on what they want. This was Ms. Krishnakhanthan’s first year competing after joining the Ajax-Pickering Toastmasters Club last May. Most people don’t progress quite as quickly through the public speak- ing club, she said, noting the person placing second had competed at that level several times. Although Ms. Krishnakhanthan was sad she wouldn’t be moving on to the next level of competition, she was pleased with her results. “For me it was great growth be- cause I had to push through my lim- itations,” she said. To prepare for the contest, Ms. Kr- ishnakhanthan presented her speech to clubs in Toronto and Markham after winning at her club. “I can’t believe what I did in the past two months,” she said. Ms. Krishnakhanthan uses per- sonal experiences to help motivate audiences. She emigrated from Sri Lanka 20 years ago and had to adjust to being in a new country; a few years after that she dealt with several personal crises, including the end of her mar- riage and the death of her parents; and a few years ago she had to stop working due to health reasons. Today, the single mother of a teenage son keeps busy as a member of several organizations. She joined Toastmasters to learn how to communicate better, but also to share the many challenges she has overcome. “I joined the club to improve my public speaking skills and to learn the art of communicating in front of an audience,” she said. “I was at that point where I wanted to share my experience with people and moti- vate them.” A/P PAGE 32 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 14, 2004 www.durhamregion.com • FREE 24 HR Roadside Assistance (Anywhere in North America) • FREE Lifetime Tire Rotations • FREE Brake, Shock, & Exhaust Inspection The TIRE EXPERTS Offer You: • Selection of Name Brand Tires • Expert Advice • Professional Service & Installations PRICE PROTECTION SATISFACTION GUARANTEE! 30 DAY + An official mark of the province of Ontario used under licence ypp • OIL CHANGE • CERTIFICATIONS • SHOCK STRUTS • COOLING SYSTEM • • AIR CONDITIONING • BRAKES • TUNE-UP • EXHAUST • BATTERIES • ALIGNMENTS • EMISSION TESTS • HEAD OFFICE 580 EVANS AVE.ETOBICOKE Franchise Enquiries Welcome Call:416-255-5581 30 DAY PRICE PROTECTION SATISFACTION GUARANTEE!

New art exhibit intended to get viewers thinking AJAX –While more than eight years have passed since his last show, John Drew is now back with a collection of paintings, 'The Icon Project.' Drew deliberately tries to provoke people's curiosity in order for them to find mean- ing in the work, which is on display until May 28 in the Ajax Public Library's main branch, 55 Harwood Ave., S. He explains simply that his paintings represent images from history, but also the im- portance of skill in an image. "I think the one thing I am trying to re-emphasize in these paintings is the impor- tance of craftsmanship," he said, noting he believes paint- ings aren't just for decorative reasons. "Painting is still important, but it's become a dinosaur in our culture." His paintings are intended to be visually powerful in na- ture, with each Icon used as part of Drew's harmonization between concept and well- constructed form. An artist's reception is planned for Sat- urday, May 15 from 7 to 9 p.m., offering a chance to meet and discuss Mr. Drew's work. Most of the work is also available for sale. There are 13 pieces of acrylic and oil paintings on display, although Drew says he's comfortable working with any medium. "Many of his paintings are pictures within a picture or an image within an image," said the library's Cindy Kim- ber. For exhibit information, call Ms. Kimber at 905-683- 4000 ext. 821. Drew wants to leave lasting Icon Brad Pitt stars as Achilles in ‘Troy.’ The following movies open in local theatres this weekend. Troy Director: Wolfgang Petersen Starring: Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean, Rose Byrne, Diane Kruger, Brian Cox, Brendan Gleeson, Peter O'Toole, Julie Christie An epic chronicle of the tri- umphs and tragedy of the leg- endary Trojan War, the story begins with Prince Paris of Troy falling in love and run- ning off with Queen Helen of Sparta. Naturally enough, this ignites a war between the Trojans and the united tribes of Greece. When the two civi- lizations clash, the mighty warrior Achilles is a key to the Greeks' victory or defeat over the Trojan army, which is led by Troy's Prince Hector and protected by the city's seem- ingly invincible walls. Also opening this weekend is 'Breakin' All the Rules.'

See page 42 In a hard place... Rock reeling after tough 0-3 start to lacrosse season By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM —No wins, but the Ajax-Pickering Rock isn't pan- icking just yet. In fact, head coach and gener- al manager Paul St. John says he's confident his Rock can re- bound from an 0-3 start to the Ontario Lacrosse Association senior 'B' season, including two losses on the weekend. "We're not pushing the panic button fully. I'm not worried at this stage," says St. John. "It's still early in the season and the g uys haven't played together and some of the guys have to learn the senior game. They're playing against men now." The Rock lost its second game of the season to the first- place Kitchener-Waterloo Kodi- aks (3-0) 7-5 at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday night. Two nights later, the Rock dropped its first road game of the season 8-6 to the ex- pansion Barrie Lakeshores. Although they started well in Barrie, the Rock went into a swoon during the latter stages, exacerbated by some retaliato- ry-type penalties that allowed the host to post its first win in senior 'B' history. "We came out strong and I thought we were on our way to a dominating victory, but the ta- bles got turned," explains St. John. Much like its other two games, the Rock received solid defensive work, starting with the goaltending of Mike Miron. The offence, however, continues to sputter, not only at even strength, but on the power play as well. "We're not going to win many games scoring that many goals," says St. John. "I don't know if it's a lack of execution or a lack of talent up front. We've got to put some plays in and get the guys believing in themselves." Brad Cann led the way against Barrie with a goal and two assists. Cody Laforme had a two-goal effort. Also scoring were Brandon Laforme, Jamie Lumsden and John Derochie. Paul O'Grady, Scott James, and Derochie recorded assists. The Rock put forth a gritty ef- fort against the Kodiaks, with the game remaining tight until well into the third period. With Kitchener-Waterloo leading 6-5 in the third, the Rock was called for a series of penalties, result- ing in a 4-on-3 situation for the Kodiaks, who scored to put the game out of reach. "The referee made a call, which was unfortunate," lamented St. John. (The offi- cials) "have to realize in a tight game they have to let the teams play." Cody Laforme scored a pair, while brother Brandon, Pat VanHooser and Derochie were the other goal scorers. Assists went to Miron, Lumsden, James, Shawn Cardy and Cann. The Rock hope to break its winless jinx against the equally winless Aces in Arthur this Sat- urday at 7 p.m. A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Ajax-Pickering Rock ball carrier Ian Harloff is harrassed by a Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks player as he leaves the Rock zone during Ontario Lacrosse Association senior ‘B’ action at the Pickering Recreation Complex last Friday night. The first-place Kodiaks carried off a 7-5 victory over the still-winless Rock. Rock go on the offensive to fix slumping offence DURHAM —With the offence struggling and the team in a 0-3 hole, the Ajax-Pickering Rock weren't prepared to wait any longer. Head coach and general man- ager Paul St. John pulled the trig- ger on two significant deals in an attempt to bolster the senior 'B' lacrosse team's popgun offence. "We made these deals to strengthen our team for the long- term. We can't possibly do any less on offence with or without (Shawn) Cardy and (Brandon) Laforme. The coaching staff of Jeff Garlin and Kevin Robinson along with myself and (co-owner) Rob Roche gath- ered Monday night for a meeting and decided we had to make some moves now to right our ship, so to speak," says St. John. The Rock gave up two for- wards in Cardy and Laforme to Durham Region rival Brooklin Mer- chants in exchange for D.J. Cox, Steve Dunn, Stefan Hewak, and an undisclosed amount of cash. St. John says Cardy wanted to return to the Merchants, where he played last season. As for Laforme, he had to be moved in order to complete the trade for the rights to Hewak. St. John says he's taking a big risk in trading for Hewak, who's played with the now-defunct Ot- tawa Rebel of the National Lacrosse League. He's currently undecided if he'll play this summer and may need to be sold on playing for the Rock. "He is the key player in this trade and we hope to convince him that he could be the player who can get us back on track offensive- ly," says St. John. Cox is a Scarborough Saint ju- nior player and Dunn averaged a goal and an assist with the Markham juniors last season. The Rock also added former Brooklin Redmen Mark Craig to the lineup in a cash deal. Panthers purr after rousing battle with Russians PICKERING —A hastily assem- bled Pickering Panthers squad gave a visiting national elite ju- nior squad from Russia all it could handle in an exhibition tilt in Toronto Wednesday night. The OHA Ontario Provincial Junior 'A' Hockey League Pan- thers, with a roster consisting mainly of first-year players who attended the club's rookie camp last month, battled gamely against the Russian under-17 na- tional team at the York Ice Gar- dens in North Toronto. Pickering lost to the Russians 5-2, with the visitors potting two late-game goals. Panthers' head coach John Winder was happy with the re- sult, given only four veterans — Richard Schofield, Danny Sulli- van, Mike Banwell and Phil McIl- hone — dressed for the showcase contest. "We gave up two goals late in the game; it could have easily been a 3-2 game," says Winder. "We missed a lot of opportunities, but so did they. Definitely, we were happy with the result, but the whole idea was to see how the new recruits would play against a national team." And, Winder was happy to re- port his rookies showed very well against a Russian team that's currently touring Ontario. "We were really pleased with what we saw from some of the guys," says Winder. Winder says the talent level on the Russian squad was high. He did, however, say their chippy style resulted in an overabun- dance of penalties — 75 minutes to the visitors and 60 assessed to Pickering. "They have excellent players. They move the puck well and they have great individual skills. It's just that they have a different style of play. They use their sticks more than we do and they try to draw penalties," says Winder. The Russians led 3-0 until Greg Riggs broke the goose egg with 1:49 remaining in the second period. Ryan Cheung drew an as- sist. Chris Dixon chopped the Russian lead to 3-2 at the mid- way mark of the third period. Chris Chappell assisted on the play. The Russians scored with 7:18 remaining in the third and added their fifth goal with under four minutes to play. ...So, club pulls trigger on two significant trades Registration continues Saturday morning PICKERING — Area youth can sign up next week for a summer sports camp.

New Pine Ridge facility includes all the latest exercise equipment By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING —The Pine Ridge Secondary School health centre is starting to shape up in more ways than one. Fund-raising for the approximately $30,000 project, which started a year ago, is still ongoing, but the tangible fruits of the school's labour are beginning to take shape. Most of the new exercise equipment, says Pine Ridge physical education head Andrew Lue, is now in place and is being used in the school's phys. ed classes. Moved into the new centre are eight new cardio machines, two treadmills, two el- liptical cross-training machines, two Stairmasters and two exercise bikes. But, Lue acknowledges the new exer- cise area is still progressing, with mirrors to be added to the walls, along with a cou- ple of television sets. Skipping ropes, sta- bility balls and hand weights are also on the radar screen. "It's slowly coming together piece by piece," says Lue. "I don't think another school in the area has the facility we've put together." Pine Ridge's weight room, says Lue, will also be refurbished in the future, with the old equipment replaced with updated items, including a new plate-loaded bench and shoulder press, leg extension and leg curl machines, and a cable crossover machine. Lue says the school's staff and stu- dents, as well as the Pumas' sports teams, will share in the use of the centre. A schedule is forthcoming for the centre's use, both during and after school. The need for a state-of-the-art fitness facility speaks for itself, says Lue. "It's a great opportunity to get students actively involved in keeping fit. And, it provides staff with an area they can use as well. We should really see the effects of it (especially) during the winter months," he says. The brainchild of Lue and school prin- cipal Sarah McDonald, the idea for a new health centre for Pine Ridge took root after he and McDonald viewed a CBC television program that outlined how a Guelph high school raised money for its health and fitness centre. Now, the centre has progressed well be- yond the idea stage, and it's a definite source of pride for the school. "I think for our students to be success- ful academically, part of that strategy is healthy living. We're looking not only at our students' health by way of the fitness centre, but also food and nutrition," says McDonald, alluding to the school's cafete- ria fare. Lue points out student use of the cen- tre during after-school hours will be su- pervised by staff. Part of the school's fund-raising activi- ties was a dinner in honour of Pine Ridge alumnus and two-time world champion hurdler Perdita Felicien, who was at the school last November for the gala affair. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 14, 2004 PAGE 35 P AJAX AZZURRI SOCCER CLUB 2004 REGISTRATION Check our web site: www.ajaxazzurrisoccer.com Call: 416-410-2230 WE STILL HAVE OPENINGS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS BORN 1990-1991-1992 Starting Week Of: June 28, July 5,12,19,26, Aug 9,16 & 23 • Boys & Girls Ages 7-16 • Weekly Day Camp 9am-3pm • 1 Round Of Golf Everyday • 4 & 5 Day Camps Available • Tournament Fridays With Awards And Prizes • Instruction By C.P.G.A.

W hen Princess launched the new Caribbean Princess last month, CEO Peter Ratcliffe reported they caused a change in passen- ger flow as it was also the wedding of former Love Boat star, Jill Whelan, Captain Stubing’s daughter in the series. “Generally, the crowds all bunch up for these events,” said Ratcliffe. “This time the crowd was spread all over the deck. The wedding was aft pool, but was beamed onto the LED screen on the other side, so many people were on the other end.” The wedding also drew attention on the web, where it was broadcast live on Princess’ site. “Having so many people overloaded the web site,” said Ratcliffe.The big point of the screen, he said is, “It symbolizes Princess for everyone; any- one can watch and enjoy a movie.” Debuting as “Movies Under the Stars”, Princess is the first cruise line to allow passengers to watch first- run movies by the pool as well as in the comfort of the lounges and air-conditioned theatres. The 175 chairs are avail- able for advance reservation for evening screenings through the telephone concierge onboard (dial from any phone onboard). Tickets are delivered to the stateroom by the cabin steward the afternoon of the night of the event. The chairs feature special covers and blankets, and bar specials have been creat- ed especially for the evening shows. Princess is expanding the outdoor movie theatre con- cept, unveiled to the paying public last month on the Caribbean Princess,to the rest of its seven-day Caribbean vessels: the Grand,Golden,and Star Princesses. The company is still examining whether the work could be done while the ships are in service or whether they’ll have to wait for scheduled maintenance periods. The showings in the first month on the Caribbean Princess got off to a good start. The sound was fine, and the experience was enhanced by having lap robes and free bags of pop- corn. Clients can also be assured that the visibility on the 300-square-foot, multi- million dollar screen is excellent even during the daytime. To experience “Movies Under the Stars” as well as many other activities that come with a cruise vacation, call Ajax-Pickering CruiseShipCenters at 905- 619-0323 so they can cus- tomize your cruise and so you can enjoy all the things you love to do on vacation without missing the com- forts of home.

The major bantam Jaguars capped an outstanding hoops sea- son by capturing the silver medal, dropping a 70-46 decision to the Hamilton Wild Cats in the Division 1 final. The medal was the culmination of a three-year program, one that set a goal to build the team into a top 4 team in Ontario. Head coach Hesham El-Tyeb says his Jaguars turned a lot of heads during the course of reaching their three-year goal. "In our first year, we climbed the ranks until we became the 20th (fourth in Division 2) and at the end of last season we became the 11th (best team) and this year we sur- prised everyone," says El-Tyeb. "Our policy is we want players that love the game and we'll teach the rest." In the semifinals, the Jaguars scored a 67-60 victory over the Whit- by Wildcats. In the quarter-finals, the Jaguars were victorious over the Toronto Triple Threat 47-41. In pool play, the Durham West Jag uars bounced the Kitchener-Wa- terloo Vipers 69-57 in the opener, while in Game 2 they shaded the Ottawa Sirus 58-57. The lone loss in pool play came in Game 3 against the Wild Cats 62-43. Team members are Shae Shep- herd, Terrance Minott, Kenny Hughes, Damian Redmond, Kyle Goffe, Josh Myrie, Shem Thomas, Tarik El-Tyeb, Osman Ahmed, Jonathan Tull and Tyler Jones. The assistant coaches are Wallis Goffe and Albert Minott. The man- ager is Rose Thomas. A/P PAGE 42 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 14, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Don’t f ence me in.

CHRISTINE STERGIU* 905- 430-8268 Terrequity Realty Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Neck and neck...and neck PICKERING –– Keenan Geer of Port Perry High School, left, Ajax High School’s Chris Clarke, centre, and Pine Ridge’s Justin Jorken put on one last burst of en- ergy as they head to the finish line during the senior boys’ 200-metre race. Track and field athletes from schools across Durham and Scarborough participated in the meet at Pine Ridge Secondary School last Friday. AJAX — A group of local resi- dents continue to keep the memo- ry of a friend alive with a golf tour- nament this month. The second annual Jimmy Walker Memorial Golf Tourna- ment will be convened at the An- nandale Golf and Curling Club Saturday, May 29 with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. Cost is $100, which includes 18 holes of golf, cart, dinner and a prize. The tournament is a way for a group of friends to honour Walker who died of cancer in August 2002. Walker was a dedicated community volunteer, who refer- eed minor hockey and football in the area for many years. All proceeds are turned over to the Durham Community Founda- tion, which administers the funds. The golf tournament committee directs the money toward worthy local endeavours. The committee is also in need of hole sponsorships ($100 apiece), gifts for the silent auction and prizes for the golfers. To help with sponsorship or prizes or to golf, call Brian Desroches at 905-427-6733 or Ernie Brown at 905-428-9160.
